I’d like to change the meta display for posts on the front page so they all appear on one line, in the post footer, with nothing in the post header except the title.

The format of the meta line should look like: [short date] categories, tags

example:
9/18/16 News, Conference

(where News is a category and Conference is a tag)

How can I accomplish this?

ikh1: For this, you’ll need to create a child theme. You can find more details on creating child theme HERE. Then in your child theme’s functions.php , add the following code:

function adventurous_footer_meta() {

	// Translators: used between list items, there is a space after the comma.
	$categories_list = get_the_category_list( __( ', ', 'adventurous' ) );

	// Translators: used between list items, there is a space after the comma.
	$tag_list = get_the_tag_list( '', __( ', ', 'adventurous' ) );

	$date = sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s">%4$s</time></a>',
		esc_url( get_permalink() ),
		esc_attr( get_the_time() ),
		esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),
		esc_html( get_the_date( 'n/d/Y' ) )
	);

	// Translators: 1 is category, 2 is tag, 3 is the date and 4 is the author's name.
	if ( $tag_list ) {
		$utility_text = __( '<span class="on-date">%1$s</span> <span class="in-category">%2$s</span><span class="sep">, </span><span class="in-tag">%3$s</span>', 'adventurous' );
	} elseif ( $categories_list ) {
		$utility_text = __( '<span class="on-date">%1$s</span> <span class="in-category">%2$s</span>', 'adventurous' );
	}

	printf(
		$utility_text,
		$date,
		$categories_list,
		$tag_list
	);
}

Then go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Customize=> Theme Options=> Custom CSS box and add the following CSS:

.entry-header .entry-meta {
    display: none;
}
